Invincible Kungfu Healer-Chapter 1051 - Divine Illusionary Realm
Chapter 1051: Divine Illusionary Realm
Mo Wen had not expected that even before he entered the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, he would encounter someone familiar. Aside from Nangong Mingzhu, who Mo Wen had not seen for years, the young master of the Ghost Lair was actually in the crowd too. Even though the young master was wearing a mask, Mo Wen could still recognize him at a glance. The young master’s aura had not changed.
“Mo Wen, why is that girl staring at you? Are both of you involved in a scandal?” Chu Yu said with a foolish giggle as he walked towards Mo Wen and tapped his shoulder.
The girl that Chu Yu mentioned was naturally Nangong Mingzhu. Clearly, she too had not expected that Mo Wen would appear here, so she glanced at him a few times. Everyone here was a strong practitioner with sharp senses. They immediately noticed that Nangong Mingzhu was paying attention to Mo Wen.
Actually, the young master of the Ghost Lair had cast a few glances at Mo Wen too. However, the young master was a man and thus, his action was ignored by others. There wasn’t much gossip that could arise between two men unless of course, some people were thinking along a different tangent and thought of that kind of situation. Hmm, that kind of situation.
Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Chu Yu. What kind of conversation starter was that?
Gu Jingman raised her eyebrows. Her gaze immediately focused on Nangong Mingzhu. There was a hint of hostility in her gaze.
“Mo Wen, you sure know a lot of people. Moreover, all of them are great beauties,” Gu Jingman said casually. She took a step forward and ingeniously stood between Nangong Mingzhu and Mo Wen, blocking their gazes.
Mo Wen, “…”
“Most likely, they are acquaintances,” said Nie Junxue.
Nie Junxue glanced at Gu Jingman, amused. Before this, Nie Junxue had noticed that Gu Jingman was staring at her with animosity and she was puzzled by her gaze. Right now, Nie Junxue finally understood what was happening. Still, it was not a good feeling to be accused by Gu Jingman. It was as though every woman that Mo Wen knew had a little something with him. “Is Mo Wen that flirtatious? Is he that charming?” Nie Junxue mused.
At least, in Nie Junxue’s opinion, Mo Wen was an upright person. He didn’t need to be chaperoned 24/7.
Mo Yuqing sneered as she hugged her arms. Mo Wen and that woman were only acquaintances? Clearly, Nie Junxue had little understanding of Mo Wen. Mo Yuqing had been following Mo Wen for a length of time. She had experienced firsthand that countless women were in tangled relationships with Mo Wen.
Mo Wen was speechless. Why did he feel that something was off? What did he do?
Just as Mo Wen was feeling wronged, Nangong Mingzhu actually walked over. She was obviously heading towards Mo Wen.
“Mo Wen, I had not expected to see you here.” Nangong Mingzhu walked over with a smile. There was a hint of surprise in her gaze.
Everyone who could be here was undoubtedly a Tide Changing Realm cultivator. Moreover, all of them were not ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators. Had the youth from before reached this stage too? 10 years ago, Mo Wen was but a normal martial art practitioner. He could actually reach this stage in 10 years’ time. His identity was most likely not ordinary.
“It’s a small world after all,” Mo Wen said with a sheepish smile. So many people were staring at him and Nangong Mingzhu. There was no way he could be comfortable with it. Some unrelated rubberneckers were actually staring at them with great interest too.
Gu Jingman hugged her arms. Even though she was somewhat displeased with Nangong Mingzhu, she said nothing.
…
A constant stream of people was coming and going in the area. Nangong Mingzhu seemed to be rather famous. Many people knew her. As soon as she moved, she stirred up many discussions.
“Why is Nangong Mingzhu talking to that youth? Could it be that the youth is also a member of Demonic Sky?”
“He doesn’t seem like a member of Demonic Sky. Didn’t the youth arrive with the geniuses of the Huatian Palace?”
“Could it be that the members of Demonic Sky and the members of Huatian Palace are starting a fight? That would be something worth watching.”
…
Besides the members from various sects of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, even the members of the heretic organizations and the Huatian Palace were somewhat curious about their relationship.
“Are you a member of the Huatian Palace?” Nangong Mingzhu asked.
“I have always been one,” Mo Wen said, matter-of-factly.
Nangong Mingzhu nodded, saying no more. She turned and was prepared to leave.
“Wait a second. The borrowed item must be returned to its owner.”
With a snap of Mo Wen’s fingers, a beam of crimson light appeared and an item floated in front of Nangong Mingzhu. It was none other than the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower, a superb grade profound level treasure. Previously, when they were fighting the last battle in the Fighting Spirit Tower, Nangong Mingzhu gave Mo Wen the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. In the end, Mo Wen didn’t use it. This item was a treasure made by Demonic Sky using secret techniques; others couldn’t unleash much of its power. Therefore, even though Mo Wen had been carrying this item with him, he had never used it before.
“It is just a knick-knack. I would have no issue with you keeping it.”
Nangong Mingzhu accepted the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower with a smile. This tower was merely a replica and not the real Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. After she had given it to Mo Wen, she hadn’t thought of getting it back. Otherwise, with Demonic Sky’s sphere of influence, it was an easy task to locate Mo Wen and retrieve the Demonic Tower.
Mo Wen shook his head as he said, “I didn’t do anything to deserve it. This item is a replica of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. It is different from other superb grade profound level treasures.”
The Crimson Moon Demonic Tower was the utmost treasure of the Devil Kingdom. Even though this replica was only a superb grade profound level item with ordinary might, it contained the esoteric rule of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower. The method to access the esoteric rule was priceless.
Nie Junxue was standing beside Mo Wen. When she found out that Mo Wen actually had a replica of the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower, her eyes twinkled. For a weapon refining master, the replicas of these immortal treasures were treasures that could only be encountered by fate. Moreover, the esoteric rule hidden in a superb grade profound level item was relatively easier to comprehend. The value of these items was far above that of heaven spiritual treasures for a weapon refining master.
Unfortunately, Mo Wen had returned it to Nangong Mingzhu. Nie Junxue said nothing too. It was impossible for the members of Demonic Sky to openly allow others to study their items.
Nangong Mingzhu smiled and said nothing. She kept the Crimson Moon Demonic Tower and left.
“Why did you have her item with you?”
Seeing that Nangong Mingzhu had left, Gu Jingman looked at Mo Wen once again. More precisely, she was glaring at him.
Mo Wen smiled and revealed nothing. His gaze landed on an oval-shaped blue halo. Some people in line had passed through the glowing halo.
“In order to participate in the trial of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, we must pass the Sorcerer Clan’s test. However, the test is held in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. If we cannot pass the test, we will be forced to leave by the power of the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield,” Xiao Jinghe explained as he looked at the large blue halo.
Previous Sorcerer Clan tests were not held outside but inside the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. Only those who passed the test could participate in the following trial.
“Do you all know what the Sorcerer Clan’s test is like?” The Jade Xiu King asked as he looked at Xiao Jinghe.
“We do not know. Every time, the Sorcerer Clan’s test is different. It is even different for each individual. The Sorcerer Clan will customize a personal test based on their overall condition. Hence, it is impossible to know what the test is about or its difficulty beforehand.”
“However, according to tests from previous years, people with higher levels of cultivation will face tests of higher difficulty. Those with lower levels of cultivation will have easier tests. The four of us have just broken through to the Tide Changing Realm and are only beginning stage Tide Changing Realm cultivators. The difference between us and the cultivators with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm is still rather large. However, in the end, it is hard to say who will stay and who will be eliminated.”
Among the Tide Changing Realm cultivators who came here, some were only at the beginning stage of the Tide Changing Realm, whereas others had long broken through and were at great attainment of the Tide Changing Realm. There was a great disparity in their abilities. However, people could not say for sure that those with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm would certainly pass the test and those at the beginning stage of the Tide Changing Realm would not.
“Mo Wen, the Sorcerer Clan’s test places greater emphasis on one’s talent and not their level of cultivation. In previous years, cultivators with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm were mostly eliminated. Do you see those old men who have kept staring at you? All of them have great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm, but they may not necessarily be able to pass the Sorcerer Clan’s test,” Chu Yu said with a smile.
“Why are they staring at me?” Mo Wen asked, puzzled. Once Chu Yu mentioned it, he noticed that there were indeed a few elders who had their gazes fixed on him. When they saw him looking over at them, not only did they not avert their gazes, but they even glared back at him. Their eyes flickered with cold light.
“Among them, some are Sinister Wind Sect elders, some are Petrification Cult elders, and there are some Sword Valley elders…” Nie Junxue said with a smile.
Once Nie Junxue said this, Mo Wen immediately knew what the issue was. So, it turned out that he had encountered his old enemies again. No wonder their animosity was so strong.
“Little thief Mo Wen, I am the Sword Valley Sect Great Elder, Cheng Jinnian. Don’t let me encounter you in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. Otherwise, I will make your life a living hell.”
An elder wearing a black robe with very long hair tied up in a braid glared at Mo Wen. He condensed his voice and transmitted it over a distance to Mo Wen.
Among the few large sects that had grudges against Mo Wen, the Sword Valley was the most wretched one. Not only was their valley leader severely injured, but he was also forced into seclusion for a thousand years. He had lost all face. One could imagine the hatred and animosity he bore against Mo Wen.
The others also stared fiercely at Mo Wen. They had a look that implied they would eventually have their revenge.
Mo Wen smiled calmly and casually averted his gaze, ignoring them.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped below the blue space-time passageway. A short old woman was standing underneath it. She wore a black robe and her entire body was hidden in the darkness. The reason Mo Wen had noticed her was that he had sensed an unfathomable feeling from her, as though she was a black hole.
Mo Wen had never sensed something like that from anyone before. The sensation was alarming and endless. Before her, he was like a tiny ant.
“She is an envoy from the Magical Realm. She will oversee the test in the Source World. Rumor has it that she is an absolute cultivator at the Divine Illusionary Realm,” Nie Junxue whispered softly in Mo Wen’s ear. She seemed to have noticed the incredulous look in Mo Wen’s eyes.
The Divine Illusionary Realm? Mo Wen was shocked. Cultivators at and above the Divine Illusionary Realm could not descend to the Source World, could they?
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield is held once every thousand years. It is a special event. The envoy sent by the Magical Realm is here to preside over things and has already been acquiesced by the Huatian Palace. Of course, she cannot leave the Ancient Sorcery Space,” Xiao Jinghe said with a solemn expression.
A Divine Illusionary Realm being would be an invincible being in the Source World. Only the denizens of the Magical Realm had not participated in the Great War between Realms and had always maintained a neutral stance. Hence, the rules were relaxed and this Divine Illusionary Realm envoy was allowed to come to the Source World. This matter was acquiesced by the Spirit Realm and the Huatian Palace. If it were the Underworld or the Devil Kingdom, they would definitely not be allowed such privileges.
“She will be in charge of customizing tasks for the members of the Source World. Every person’s level of cultivation and abilities cannot escape her eyes. That is why I said that levels of cultivation provide no advantage.”
One by one, people passed through the space-time passageway and disappeared from the valley. Mo Wen noticed that as each person passed in front of the black-robed old woman, they would receive a small cloth pouch.
…
